Monthly Fiction
$100 per 5 comic pages!
If we hit $100 every five pages in support, then I will deliver a prose installment or short story every month. Best of all, patrons get to pitch stories they want to see. Pretty cool huh?
Fully Funded Hosting
$200 per 5 comic pages!
If this tier is met that means I have extra cash in my pocket to commission artists for short comics featuring the characters because my hosting for a period of two years is fully funded. Two years of hosting fees every five pages means the site's costs are essentially covered for years. With the extra funding I'll seek out artists to draw side comics because it's always fun to see how other people draw the characters.
Yearly Swag Bag
$500 per 5 comic pages!
If we can hit $100 every five pages all $5+ patrons will earn a swag bag at the end of the year filled with prints, sketches, buttons, stickers, and maybe some more bonuses. Buttons will be packaged for collectible purposes and will included a special limited-series backing. Other items could include charms, shirts, or other comic-related trinkets. The idea is to fill these bags will real premium stuff, books included.

This Patreon Page is Eternally Under Revision

This is for readers of the comic who are interested in helping cover production costs for Cosmic Dash so I can continue to create comics and write short stories. This Patreon page will go through some revisions as I figure out how this all works. I want the bonus for contributors to be great, but everyone is welcome and encouraged to read the comics. I am also taking suggestions for further patron tiers or things I can do to sweeten existing ones. The comics are still completely free to read, I just want a nice platform to provide bonuses to supporters.

What is this Cosmic Dash Thing?

Cosmic Dash is a science fiction action adventure following the exploits of an alien crew aboard a cargo-ship set against the backdrop of an inter-factional cold war. The series features action, adventure, comedy, and heavy continuity. Imagine universes like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Star Fox, only completely free to enjoy online through comics and prose. Best of all, reader interactions can help shape the narrative and as the creator I make sure to respond to every reader to the best of my ability.

The comic has been going on for a while and has not missed an update more than a time or two! Money or not, Cosmic Dash is something I need to do, so no worries about me holding the comic hostage for money. I have also been writing short stories that explore the characters and larger universe and I am increasing those efforts as well. So no matter what, there will be more Cosmic Dash on the way with more and more buildup and epic stories.

What Is the Money Used For?

Any money made through Patreon goes primarily to paying for site hosting costs such as the hosting account or domain name. Additional money goes on to help me pay bills, eat, and live. With more money made through Patreon I can start putting Patreon funds toward commissioning artists, writers, and more to help expand the comic.


So What Do We Get Out of All of This?

Glad you asked. As of now I only have some relatively low-cost tiers of support, as seen later, but I am open to doing more. Contact me with suggestions! Tiers are based on every five pages worth of 
updates. At a page a week you're not paying very often (maybe once a month, more like every other month, however), and that doesn't include the short stories and the bonus content I'll be posting here or on the Cosmic Dash website. All of which I consider to be secondary to the comic, but still provides a lot of great content. Besides that everyone gets access to the tumblr account and the comic streams. Some streams may be Patreon exclusive, if I owe you art you should be able to see me draw it live. I generally try to do the patron streams on Fridays, and will schedule them about a week before they happen.

Currently we have several milestones. One of which is a yearly swag bag that would include prints, buttons, stickers, and some other goodies. We have to meet that milestone before that happens, though. However, we've got plenty of other milestones to look at as well.

Currently Galactic Hub Serreven, the spinoff comic, is under development in a more secretive capacity, and I hope to have more to announce soon. Meanwhile, however Cosmic Dash Minis are available for patrons. These are small comic strips in the Japanese 4 koma style.



Now that we have hit the first milestone, I am now doing wallpapers every month. These can range from character pinups to parody drawings. I also take wallpaper suggestions, so feel free to pitch something.

Hey! Where the Heck is the Video?

I will be producing a video very soon. Please keep checking back and read Cosmic Dash.
